BAG AND TWINE HOLDER.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 335,063, dated January 26, 1886.

Application tiled J uly 2, 1885. Serial No. 170,549.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, LEVI Q. EnMrs'roN, a citizen of the United States of America, residing at Smithton, in the count-y of Pettis and State of Missouri, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Bag and Twine Holders; and I do hereby declare the following to bea full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and to letters or figures of reference marked thereon, which form a part of this specification.

My invention relates to an improved twine and bag holder; and it consists in providing a suitable vertical stand, with a sleeve from which projects wire arms, which are braced to each other by a circular band, said arms being adapted to support paper bags, above which is located a receptacle having a vertical projecting arm which is bent so as to project horizontally over the fi ame, said arm being provided at its end with an eye through which the cord passes, as will be hereinafter set forth.

My invention also consists in the construction and combination of parts, as will be hereinafter fully set forth, and specifically pointed out in the claims.

In the accompanying drawings,which illus trate my invention, Figure l is a perspective view of my improvement, and Fig. 2 is a sectional view.

A represents a suitable base or stand, from which projects a vertical standard, A, which is enlarged near its upper portion, so as to provide a projecting portion or rest, a, above which projects a portion, 1), which is of less diameter thanthe main portion of the stand- 0 ard.

Upon the projecting portion a rests a collar, B, to the upper horizontal portion of which is attached aseries of projecting arms, 0, said arms extending from said collar diagonally upward to a circular bar, D, around which the arms 0 are coiled, from whence they are bent downwardly, as shown at c, and then continued upwardly, so as to provide a hook upon which paper-bags may be suspended, so

that said bags will hang downwardly therefrom.

(No model.)

E represents a receptacle, the upper part of which is open, and the lower portion of said receptacle is provided centrally with a depending socket, e, which will fit snugly over the upper end of the portion b of the vertical standard. This receptacle is provided with a vertical bar, F,which is bent so as to provide a projecting portion, F, the end of which is formed into an eye, f. An eye is formed on the upper end. of the vertical portion, as shown at f, through which the twine may pass. The arm F is braced both at its horizontal and vertical portion by a bar, G, which, after be ing attached to these portions, is brought 6 across the receptacle E and attached to one of its sides.

The combined device herein described forms a compact and convenient means for holding bags and twine in an accessible position upon storecounters, the rotation of the bagholder enabling the attendant to readily bring any desired size of bag into position beneath the twine-guide.

I claim 1. A combined paper bag and twine holder, consisting of a standard embraced by a collar having projecting arms 0 for the reception of paper bags, and a receptacle, E, having a horizontal projecting arm with an eye at the end thereof, substantially as shown, and for the purpose set forth.

2. In a combined bag and twine holder, the combination, with a base, A, and vertical standard A, havinga reduced upper portion, b, and collar B, having diagonally-extending arms 0, embracing the ring D, and. extending upwardly therefrom so as to form supports for bags, of the receptacle E, with the depending socket e, mounted on the upper end of 0 the portion 6 of the standard and provided with a projecting arm, F F, having eyes ff, and the brace-rod G, the parts being combined and organized substantially as shown, and for the purpose set forth.

In testimony whereof I affix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
